Manchester United vs Bournemouth LIVE: Result and reaction as dismal hosts thumped at Old Trafford

Manchester United 0-3 Bournemouth: Goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi gave the visitors their first ever win at Old Trafford

You need competition for places - Ten Hag

Manchester United suffered another dismal Premier League defeat as Bournemouth piled the misery on Erik ten Hag with their first ever victory at Old Trafford.

The visitors deservedly won 3-0 thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi as United’s awful Premier League campaign went from bad to worse with their eighth defeat already this season.

It’s also a nightmare start to a crucial week for United manager Ten Hag, whose side host Bayern Munich in a must-win Champions League group-stage finale on Tuesday before visiting Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Ten Hag had left Rasmus Hojlund on the bench in favour of Anthony Martial, as well as leaving Marcus Rashford out of his line-up for a second consecutive match.

But the changes backfired as superb Bournemouth raced to a stunning victory - and their margin of victory could have been even greater after Dango Ouattara had a fourth disallowed for handball late on.

The Cherries' lead comes despite enjoying just 27.3 per cent of the possession during the first half. Iraola will know his players cannot afford to sit back too much, though, when this contest resumes.
